Newsonline reports that Times Higher Education World University Rankings has released the 2022 World Best University ranking, placing the University of Ibadan (UI), University of Lagos (UNILAG) and Covenant University among the top 1000 universities in the globe.

 

This online newspaper gathered that the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022 include more than 1,600 universities across 99 countries and territories, making them the largest and most diverse university rankings to date.

 

In the latest ranking, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) is in second place (501-600) and Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State third position (601-800), respectively.

Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) is in the 6th position (1201+) and the Lagos State University (LASU) occupying seventh place on the table.

 

The current ranking analysed more than 108 million citations across over 14.4 million research publications and included survey responses from almost 22,000 scholars globally.

 

The table is based on 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across four areas: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

“Overall, we collected over 430,000 data points from more than 2,100 institutions that submitted data. This year’s league table reveals how the COVID-19 pandemic has started to shift global higher education performance,” Time Higher Education’s report said.

 

The US is the most-represented country overall with 183 institutions, and also the most represented in the top 200 (57), although its share of universities in this elite group is falling.
